“What is your name among us?” asked Maude.

“Iolanthe,” I said promptly.

Dimitri Belikov's impact on the women in these books needs to be studied. I thought it was just Rose's infatuation with the man she loves, but Sydney is also incapable of being around him without bringing up how hot, sexy, and charming he is. Kirova was also all up in his shit over the vests in "Hello, my name is Rose Hathaway". Then I remember how Tasha literally framed Rose for murder to get her out of the way for the chance at him. Like he breaths and someone turns into a slip n slide it's amazing.

"You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love."

my wildest dream is to one day have an actual good vampire academy and bloodlines adaptation but I know I should just give up because unless I make it myself it ain't going to happen at this point. the movie was cringe, the TV show started well but fucked it all up in the last episodes... The books desperately need to be updated by an adaptation making them more modern but the storyline needs to stay the same and the heart of the relationships as well

INSTAGRAM AU >> Vampire Academy/Bloodline Series

Re-make of my old edit

[ozerashome]

Sometimes i think I do too much when I have a crush/ am in love, then I remember Adrian pretended not to know how to drive a stick shift so Sydney would teach him then pulled a tokyo drift to get her out of a dangerous situation

Reasons why The Indigo Spell is my favorite Bloodlines book:

Witchcraft! So much cool witchy stuff!

Sydney and Adrian aren't together yet, and there's resisting and pining and oh, but they give in and make out every 50 pages or so

HOPPER THE TINY DEMON DRAGON

How much of a goner Sydney is from page one, she thinks about Adrian constantly and misses him the second they're apart, while telling herself that the idea that she's "already halfway in love with him" is crazy

How insanely bad Adrian is at "loving from afar"

Adrian making heart eyes at Sydney while she throws fire balls

Sydney watching Adrian paint and going MINE

Crossword in the airplane scene, just how well Adrian knows her

Sydney actively going against the Alchemists, questioning what they tell her and being resentful of how they used her

"His face was the picture of perfect politeness and restraint, meaning something disastrous was probably about to happen."

THE DANCE

Oh no, I'm completely horrified at the idea of having to touch and dance with a vampire, I'm not thinking about when he kissed me at all

Sydney and Ms. Terwilliger actually developing a mentorship, Ms. T driving herself to the ground to protect Sydney and Sydney saving her

Talking about Ms. T: "He looks like he would do anything for you" She met him once! Captain of the ship! Well, Jill's first mate, anyway

Sydney and Adrian playing supernatural detectives!!!

The kiss at the college party

Adrian looks at Sydney's aura and almost explicitly states that she's demisexual

"I'm a quick study"

Alicia is a cool villain

Malachi Wolf is back and has a squirrel cookie jar, and Sydney can't wait to tell Adrian about it, momentarily forgetting she's supposedly leaving for Mexico

The whole melodramatic set up for their kiss and first date in the end is so, so Adrian, and he found a place Sydney would adore

If anyone wants to explain what their favorite book in the series is and why, please tag me :)

What if I roll the stone away?

They're going to crucify me anyway (insp)

[vablappreciationweek]

Recently played Resident Evil and the model Leon was based on, Eduard Badaluta is definitely my fancast for Adrian Ivashkov. He is Romanian and 6’1 like Adrian.

They're very underrated and we deserved more of them tbh

As far as Forbidden Romances are concerned, Mead did it right the second time.

As I age I become more and more uncomfortable with Rose/Dimitri beginnings, but Sydney and Adrian???

Froced Proximity? Enemies (kinda) to lovers? Hating each other at first but growing to love each other sometimes BECAUSE OF their flaws? Having very real reasons for them to not be together but going for it? Actually suffering the consequences of their actions?

AND NO FUCKING INCEST?

Hate that Meade added it at all, but there is a very real reason for it in her world building. She called it out and made a point to show that some characters were weirded out by it. Unlike some people, Meade also only keeps in the incest as needed for her world's consistency, she never romantices it (looking at you Clare).

Dimitri "it's on sight" Belikov is so sexy cause he saw that man (his dad) and with no prompting punched the shit out of him like the sight of him triggered a sleeper agent. And then he proceeded to just look at that lady like:

It's about the pomegranate gelato of it all ;-;

Bloodlines Book 5 Silver Shadows by Richelle Meade

Illustration of the wedding <3 I moved the location. I mean, Sydney loves roman architecture? And they're in Las Vegas? Honestly Caesars Palace just seemed like the obvious choice (I considered the Venetian but the locations outdoors at Caesars were just more picturesque)

Excerpt from Chapter 20 of Silver Shadows

"Oh, hang on. You need this first."

I caught hold of her hand and slipped on the newly made engagement ring. Sydney's breath caught at the glittering array, and then she looked up at me in alarm, finally realizing where the funding for this adventure had come from. "Adrian, those are your aunt's."

I led her forward. "And now they're yours."

The officiant knew about our time constraints and kept the service pretty basic, mostly sticking to what was legally required in the state of Nevada. He did add one part that was his own design, words that burned into me and repeated in my brain later when I slipped the little glittering circle of rubies onto Sydney's finger: "Until now, you have always lived your life alone. Every decision you've made has been for you and you alone. Now, and for the rest of your days, your life will be tied to another's. Every decision you make will be for both of you. What one does affects the other. You are a family, a team... inseparable and unbreakable."

They were powerful words for someone like me to hear, someone who'd indeed lived a pretty selfish existence. But as I met Sydney's shining eyes and saw the hope and joy radiating from her, I felt up to them. I was ready to take that selfless step with her, to know that everything we did now was about the two of us and, eventually, our family. This was the biggest decision I'd made in my life... and the one I did most happily.

When the vows were said and the rings were on, the officiant pronounced us husband and wife. I drew Sydney to me and kissed her, full of love and life and the happiness of what we had in store for us. When we finally pulled apart, the minister added, "I'm very pleased to introduce the world to Adrian and Sydney Ivashkov."
